Pros/Cons
  • Pros

  • Olark is cute, easy to use, and fun. I love that it's personal for each member on my team.
  • This program is so easy to use that everyone in our office has taken a turn. We love that it can be a subtle, yet helpful, add on to our website.
  • Cons

  • There were many short outages or features being down. I often had to check the status of the software to see if the problem was being worked on.
  • Lack of customizations, Olark will log you out after 5 min of inactivity without any warning. Operator cant send attachments.

  • Pros

  • Simplicity in setting up Operators/Users. The 10-Day Free Trial was a great opportunity to test out the system.
  • For a small business like ours, that is a big help because we are not always able to be in the office just to handle chat questions.
  • Cons

  • There was no possibility to transfer chat to another person, only invite and you have to sit together in the room, makes no sense, only distraction.
  • It is not clear how to add/delete/edit operators. Also the sound played for a chat is annoying and can easily be confused with a phone.
